| Directions | - Preheat oven to 350º F.
- Mix together corn meal and butter until it has a crumb type appearance (This can be done in a food processor, if one is available). Blend in seasoning. Add water and beaten egg and combine. If the mixture is too crumbly, add a few drops of water.
- Pat mixture into bottom of pan and up the sides or use a small pastry rolling pin to even out and press excess up sides. The crust should be thin.
- Bake 12 to 15 minutes. Cook approximately 10 minutes before adding filling. Fill bottom of crust with spinach, ham, cheese and onion.
- In a small bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and mustard. Pour over meat mixture.
- Bake 55 to 60 minutes, or until set in center. Serve warm. Garnish as desired.
TIP: If crust is too plain, add minced green onion, garlic, fresh herbs, and seasonings.
